Combine 3 excel text columns into 1 column,

I need to combine 3 Excel text columns into one new column.  I have a excel file that has three columns (City | State | zip) I need to combine these three columns into one with at least one space between them so the one column reads (City  State  Zip)

The underlining reason I need to do this is for import into Quickbooks 2007 which formats the address fields as
Address 1
Address 2
Address 3

Thanks

If the zip codes in column C aren't formatted as text, you need to make sure that all five digits show up:
  =A1 & " " & B1 & " " & TEXT(C1, "00000")
Did my suggested approaches help at all? /Ture

Yes it did work.  Sorry for the delay. The only glitch was that out of 4 address columns, most used only 3 which resulted in a blank line in most of the imports.  This I can live with.  Thanks so much.
